History
This school was named in honour of Robert Alexander "Bob" McMath (1915–1996). McMath moved to Canada in 1928. He served with the Seaforth Highlanders of Canada during the Second World War and was wounded in Italy.[4] In 1951, McMath was elected as a school trustee in the city of Richmond, and from 1957 until his retirement in 1993 he served on Richmond's Municipal Council.[5]
The school — Richmond's newest high school — opened in 1997 and serves grades 8 to 12. In September 2004, it became a bilingual school, providing a French immersion program.[6]
